After eighteen years of single life, Diane marries Pat Sheridan and acquires five grown stepchildren. Dianes daughter, Tracey, graduates from the University of Maryland and moves to the place of her dreams - California. She begins a career in the entertainment industry, working at ABC, Viacom, and Paramount. In 2005, Tracey learns that she has lung cancer. Angry and afraid, she undergoes surgery and chemotherapy. Her mother cares for her through her cancer treatments on the West Coast. In 2007, Tracey falls in love with Brandon De Libro, and they put their relationship on a fast track, marry, and have a beautiful baby, Bella, all in the last year of Traceys life. During her pregnancy, Traceys health deteriorates and she reluctantly agrees to have brain irradiation.

Some of Traceys beautiful and unique prose is included, and her writings add to the books special charm.
